Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Aniket, founder of Tenali AI.

Some of you might remember us — we launched here exactly a year ago as "The AI Sales Engineer." A webapp with meeting bots that gave reps live answers on Zoom and Google Meet. We saw teams cut sales cycles by 33%, save 10+ hours per rep per week, and 2x deals moved past discovery.

But something kept bothering me = The Bot. 😖

Every time Tenali joined a call, a little notification popped up: "Recording Bot has joined the meeting." Prospects paused. Conversations got guarded. The most honest moments on a sales call — where a buyer tells you what's really blocking the deal — stopped happening. We were solving one problem while creating another.

So we tore it down and rebuilt from scratch.

Tenali AI Desktop is a native Mac app. Nothing joins the call.

It captures system audio — the same way screen recording works on macOS. When a buyer asks about your SOC 2 status, your pricing for 50 seats, or how you compare to a competitor, Tenali pulls the precise answer from your company's knowledge base and puts it on your screen. Hands-free. No typing. No searching.

Your prospect just sees a rep who always has the answer.

Why I built this:

I lost a $2M deal recently. The prospect's security lead asked two technical questions at 5 PM on the last day of the quarter. I didn't have the answers. Slack messages flew. Internal docs were scanned. 5:30 — nothing. 5:45 — still searching. 6:00 — window closed. Deal gone.

That moment made me realize that Deals die the moment a rep says "Let me get back to you." Every "I'll get back to you" extends the cycle by weeks and opens the door for a competitor.

What's different from V1:

🔇 Invisible — no bot, no recording participant, no browser extension. A private overlay only you see.

🖥️ Works on 100+ platforms — Zoom, Teams, Meet, Dialpad, Orum, Nooks, WhatsApp, Slack huddles. If you can hear it on your Mac, Tenali hears it too.

🤚 Hands-free — answers surface as the question is asked. No chatbot. No typing.

⚡ 30-second install — download, drag to Applications, sign in. Live on your next call.

🔒 Security first — audio processed locally in real-time. Never stored permanently. Never used to train AI models.

Where this fits in your stack:

Tenali isn't replacing your conversation intelligence tools. If you use Gong, keep using Gong — it's great at post-call analytics and coaching. Tenali covers a different moment entirely: the live call itself. The moment the question is asked and the rep needs the answer now, not in a post-call summary.

This is Real-Time In-Call Intelligence — the missing layer between sales engagement (before the call) and conversation intelligence (after the call).

14-day free trial. $39/seat/month. Native macOS app. Works on your very next call.

Would love feedback — especially from AEs and SDRs who know the pain of "Let me get back to you." 🙏
